 The Canada-Africa International Investors Summit also works with  other countries in the region, and where challenges benefit from  regional approaches, we work with continental institutions such as the  African Union, the African Development Bank, La Francophonie, African Union as well as regional economic communities. In 2018, Foreign Direct  Investment (FDI) flows to Africa defied the global downward trend and  rose to $46 billion. Africa is a resource-rich continent. West Africa, East Africa, Central Africa, and Southern Africa in particular, are expected to reach a combined GDP of $29  trillion by the year 2050

The  Annual Intercultural Night is a festival to recognize, as well as celebrate the diverse cultures that define us as Canada today. Nearly 6,264,800 people identified themselves as a member of a visible minority group. They represented 19.1% of the total population. Of these visible minorities, 30.9% were born in Canada and 65.1% were born outside the country and came to live in Canada as expats. A small proportion (4.0%) of the visible minority population was non-permanent residents. The celebration of diverse culture brings people together as a global community and as a country and countries into the world itself
